Neighbourhood feud kills 55-year-old in Jammu

Jammu, Jul 6: An elderly man was murdered while ten others, including two women, suffered injuries when two neighbours entered into a brawl here last evening, police said.

''Two neighbours entered into a scuffle over an issue in New Plot area in which one of the persons identified as Thakur Dass, 55, got killed when a youth stabbed him with a sharp-edged weapon,'' police sources said.

The accused, identified as Sunil Kumar and Anil Kumar, entered into verbal duel with the son of the deceased that resulted into a bloody clash between both the parties, the police said, adding, ''No arrest has been made yet as the accused along with others are absconding and curfew restrictions helped them to go underground.'' However, the injured from both the groups have been admitted to Government Medical College Hospital and a case has been registered at the nearby Police Station.
